Harper, hound and Labrador retriever mix
Harper is a sweet male hound and Labrador retriever puppy being kept at Take Paws Rescue.
Harper loves other dogs. His ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. He already has had all of his shots. He's mastered his house-training etiquette.
Harper's current caretakers say:
Harper is a 4-month-old lab/hound mix. He’s such a goofball and loves to play. He’s so spunky and full of personality. He knows sit, shake and "go to bed" to go in his crate. He loves to run around and likes to swim when it’s warm out! But he’s also okay with curling up after a long day for a long nap. He would do best in a home without cats but he loves other dogs.
